Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Distracted driving is fast rising to the top of the list of factors contributing to catastrophic accidents across the nation. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driver crashes, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This negligent behavior has been found to be just as dangerous as drunk driving. Most distracted driving victims are under the age of 20, and human error is the primary cause of most auto accidents. Each year, distracted driving results in the deaths of over 3,000 people and hundreds of thousands of serious injuries. Almost 10 percent of the time, drivers who are distracted will have their eyes off the road. Make sure you are prepared to seek a solid compensation claim with the help of an experienced attorney.

After a major crash, it makes sense that New Mexico accident victims might be apprehensive to go up against a large insurance provider. It can be very difficult to understand insurance coverage policies, especially for victims who do not have the necessary legal background. Any insurance policy can have a lot of bureaucratic red tape and confusing language, which can be daunting for people who are not experienced in handling personal injury claims. If you were in a car accident and sustained serious injuries, you should try your hardest to achieve a complete recovery. This usually begins with working with an experienced attorney who has a track record of winning injury claims.
